captions paid for by nbc-universal television and welcome to "today" on this tuesday morning. i'm ann curry. >> and i'm matt lauer. and we start on a tuesday with breaking news out of california. you're looking at 21-year-old antolin garcia-torres, moments after his arrest on suspicion of kidnapping and killing 15-year-old sierra lamar. >> the california teen vanished while walking to her school bus stop back on march 16th, and the arrest marks the first time since her disappearance that police have insinuated that sierra has been killed. straight ahead we're going to tell you what police are saying about the evidence that has led to this arrest. >> we'll have more information on that. also, a first of its kind case tied to texting and driving. a college student could be held liable for sending a text message to her boyfriend, who she knew was driving at the

time, allegedly causing him to get into an accident. we're going to get reaction from "today's professionals" and talk to them about some other hot topics, as well. >> and also we've got a rare interview with sean penn. it's his first with the "today" show in nearly a decade. we talked to him, matt, recently in cannes, as you know. his interview was emotional, raw, he's also honest. and among the things he talks about, why he has a, quote, very tough time with people. but we begin with that breaking news in california, where a suspect is in custody in the disappearance of 15-year-old high school cheerleader sierra lamar. nbc's kristen dahlgren is joining us now with details. kristen, good morning. >> good morning, ann. well sierra lamar hasn't been seen since she left for school on march 16th. but this morning authorities are holding a suspect. they say they have probable cause to charge him with murder. for two months, so many questions have surrounded the mysterious disappearance of 15-year-old sierra lamar. this morning santa clara county

sheriff's detectives believe this man has the answers. they took 21-year-old antolin garcia-torres into custody monday night, questioning him for two hours, before booking him on one count of kidnapping, and one count of murder. >> public safety is our primary concern. we don't want any monster to take another little girl. >> reporter: sierra lamar was last seen on march 16th when she left home for school, and never made it to her bus stop. search teams eventually found her cell phone and her purse, filled with clothing, on the side of the road. for two months volunteers have scoured the community around lamar's home, on foot, while dive teams search reservoirs and ponds. but so far no sign of the teenager. >> it's not easy to make a murder case without a body. you can do it. but you need a lot of other good evidence. things like dna, or eyewitness accounts, or a confession. >> reporter: sheriff's detectives say forensic evidence found on sierra's purse and

clothing led them to garcia-torres. then two weeks ago, deputies seized his car, matching a red volkswagen jetta spotted on surveillance cameras on the morning of lamar's disappearance. >> we've been looking at him for quite awhile now. >> reporter: now the sheriff here says their department will continue to look for sierra, but when asked whether she believes the teen is still alive, she answered, no, i don't. and, ann, we've spoken with sierra's family so many times over the past few months. obviously our hearts go out to them. they are expected to address the media this morning. >> kristen dahlgren this morning. kristen, thank you so much. it is now 7:04. now here's matt. >> all right, ann, thank you. now the race for the white house. and fallout over the obama campaign's attacks on mitt romney's business credentials. the president himself is now weighing in. chuck todd is nbc's political chuck, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt.

the president got home just after midnight last night, wrapping up two international summits and delivering an emotional commencement speech at joplin high school nearly one year after those devastating tornadoes. but honestly, today, the fallout from his decision to personally engage in the increasingly heated battle over mitt romney's career at bain capital. >> this issue is not a, quote, distraction. this is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign. >> reporter: saying mitt romney's career at bain capital is fair game in this election, president obama is not backing down at all from his campaign's attempt to turn mitt romney's business record into a liability. >> when you're president, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then you -- your job is not simply to maximize profits. your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot. >> reporter: the latest dust-up began sunday on nbc's "meet the press," when an obama supporter,

newark mayor cory booker, openly criticized the obama campaign's attacks on bain capital. >> i'm not about to sit here and indict private equity. we're getting to a ridiculous point in america. >> reporter: facing a growing backlash from democrats, booker immediately backpedalled with a video on youtube. but it wasn't enough on monday for the president's senior campaign strategist, who took booker to task. >> in this particular instance, he was just wrong. i mean, there are specific instances here that spoke -- speak to an economic theory that isn't the right theory for the country. >> reporter: the republican national committee seized on booker's comments, unveiling an online petition with the banner, i stand with cory. and mitt romney spent monday raising over $10 million at a series of new york city fund-raisers, his campaign quickly produced this new web video. >> even obama's own supporters have had enough. >> it's nauseating the american public. enough is enough. >> it wasn't until the gop went across that line that i said, forget it.

>> reporter: in an interview with rachel maddow monday night booker pushed back. >> if anything they've turned me on even to work harder the next six months. >> reporter: meanwhile wrapping up the nato summit in his hometown, president obama said the united states and its allies are one step closer to winding down the war in afghanistan. >> we reached agreement on the next milestone in that transition. we agreed that afghan forces will take the lead for combat operations next year. >> reporter: left unresolved out of that summit, the issue with pakistan over those supply lines. pakistan wants to charge the u.s. and nato an enormous amount of money to allow supplies and -- to get to the troops across the border. that did not get solved. matt? >> all right, chuck todd at the white house this morning. thank you very much. general colin powell, who served as secretary of state under president george w. bush made some headlines four years ago when he endorsed barack obama for president. he's out with a brand-new book called "it worked for me: in life and leadership."

general, it's always nice to see you. welcome back to the show. >> thank you, matt. good to be back. >> let's talk about afghanistan. chuck just talked about it. here's what you said on "meet the press" two years ago. quote, we all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place in afghanistan a government under president karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al qaeda didn't come back and make sure the taliban wasn't resurrected. it didn't work out. you said that two years ago. 700 americans or so have lost their lives in that country since then. we still aren't out of there. was it worth the sacrifice? >> i think it was worth the sacrifice to give the afghan people to a chance to create free government that was representative of all the afghan people and to bring some stability to the country. now, two years later, the afghans are showing that they have more and more capacity. their forces have been built up. military and police forces. and you know, we can only do so much and go so far. they have to be in charge of their country. >> do you think we'll leave behind a stable country that will accomplish the things you talked about? >> that is what remains to be

seen. i'm not totally satisfied, in fact i'm not hardly satisfied with the nature of the regime, the corruption that exists, and a lot of the other problems that exist. but at the same time, we have to draw the line at some point. and i think the decision that's been made over the weekend that we would stop active combat operations at the end of next year, and then stay in place and finally withdraw in 2014, but leave behind whatever is necessary to give the afghans the support they need, and whatever capacities they need, they don't now have. >> but you endorsed barack obama back in 2008. you called him a transformational figure who represented generational change. did you get from president obama the kind of generational change, was he the transformational figure, or has he been, that you counted on? >> i think he has been. not completely. there are some things that he has done i wish he had not done. for example, leave guantanamo open. i would have closed that rapidly. he tried.

he was stopped by congress. he stabilized the financial system. he brought about a stability in the economy. he fixed the auto industry. i think he took us out, not completely out, but he took us out of the most difficult problem we were facing at that time, which was an economy that was collapsing. and it's improving, but not fast enough. so his number one -- his number one goal for the rest of this year, as it should have been for the whole four years, is to get the economy running again. >> if i'm barack obama i'm sitting here listening to you say all these things, that sounds like a pretty good campaign endorsement. it sounds like you're on his team still four years later. >> oh, he knows better. he knows that i always keep my outer drive, as we say in the military. i feel as a private citizen i ought to listen to what the president says and what the president's been doing. but i also have to listen to what the other fellow says. i've known mitt romney for many years, good man. it's not just a matter of weather you support obama or romney, it's who they have coming in with them. what policies? >> why hesitate at this stage of the game? it's basically barack obama or

mitt romney? why not come out and throw your weight behind somebody? >> because i don't want to throw my weight behind somebody. the beautiful part of being a private citizen is you can decide when you want to throw your weight, if you want to throw your weight. i'm still listening to what the republicans are saying they're going to do to fix the fiscal problems we have, to get the economy moving. and i think i owe that to the republican party. i owe that. i think it is the right way to go about it. too often in this country we simply stick with whatever you said last year is it, even if it doesn't work out or make sense. so, i like to listen to everybody, examine everything, and then of course make a judgment and vote the way i think is the correct way to vote is. >> in your book you talk about that famous appearance you made before the united nations during the buildup to the war in iraq and you write that the office of then-vice president dick cheney tried to select the intelligence you'd use in that appearance. you describe the case presented to you as a disaster and incoherent. you even said that vice president cheney urged you to use searches that linked iraq and 9/11, which had been

discredited months earlier. did the vice president knowingly try to mislead the american people and leaders around the world prior to the war in iraq? >> prior to the war in iraq, i had no reason to believe that. we all were operating off the same basic intelligence. and it wasn't anything new that was put together for the u.n. speech. the vice president kept pushing, kept encouraging us to look at everything. and he probably felt more strongly about -- >> at everything or selective intelligence? >> everything. everything. well selected is part of everything. and he felt strongly about some particular issues, say the linkage between 9/11 and saddam hussein, and how al qaeda might have played in that and he kept pressing to see if there was anything there. but at the end of the day, there was nothing there. and i did not use it, because there was nothing there. you have to remember that this was a national intelligence estimate that was used by the president long before my speech, that congress used that national intelligence estimate three months before my speech.

and the decision to go to war had already been made before my speech. >> in the book you also say people want leaders who have moral and physical courage, who always do the right thing when asked and will risk their careers in doing so. you've also written about that appearance before the united nations, and you referred to it as one of your most momentous failures. that will earn a prominent paragraph in your obituary. so did you live up to, at that moment, your own definition of leadership and what people want in this country? >> when i was asked to make that presentation, i was given four days to get ready for it. i did everything i could by going out to the cia with an entire team of people, and going through all the intelligence they had. and being assured that they had multiple sources for everything that i would be saying at the u.n. every word in that presentation was certified by the cia and the intelligence community. the director of the cia sat right behind me when i presented it. he was up most of the night before, verifying it. it just turned out that subsequently, a lot of it was

right, but the guts of it, the existence of weapons of mass destruction, in existence, in iraq, were not there. they were not there. the sources were bad. now the good part of this is that saddam hussein is gone. that terrible regime has been eliminated. and the iraqi people now have a chance of a better life with a new regime and we don't have to worry about whether they have weapons of mass destruction or not anymore. saddam hussein is not there to terrorize his people. >> general colin powell. always nice to have you stop by the studio. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> i want to tell people that the book is now in bookstores. it's now 14 after the hour. here's ann. >> matt, thanks. now to a controversial recommendation for millions of men. a government panel is advising against screening healthy men for prostate cancer with the psa blood test. they say harm from the widely used test outweighs its benefits. we've got dr. nancy snyderman as nbc's chief medical editor now joining us. how can a simple blood test, a screening blood test, cause harm and outweigh the benefits?

>> this test was meant to monitor an antigen, a protein in the prostate grand. years ago, after a man was diagnosed with prostate cancer, if the blood test went up, it might be indicative of the fact that the tumor was spreading. but increasingly it became sort of a simple blood test. get blood drawn, if the number is outside the normal limits you might have a problem. here's the problem with the test, though, it is so sensitive, that in 80% of the cases, it indicates a problem when there might not be a problem at all. and a man may have inflammation or infection or a benign tumor, or even a cancer that's never going to cause problems. and their concern is, it's so widely used, and wrong so often that it shouldn't be used at all. >> but on the other hand, some men say this test has saved their lives. >> yes. >> so where is the -- how do men men behave? how do they know what to do? >> here's the hard part. the preventive task force that came out with these guidelines, they crunched the numbers.

they looked at data. and whether they think it's personal or not they looked at the cold, hard facts. does this screening save lives? and their answers were, no it doesn't. but what you will hear from individual men is, wait a minute, that test saved my life. and, yes, you're going to now balance anecdotes and case histories against the bigger population of hundreds of thousands of men. and that's where a lot of the controversy is going to be. >> it should be said that the american urological association has called these tests inappropriate and irresponsible. this is the same force that told us mammograms under 50 are not necessary. >> let me caution people when the breast cancer stuff came out who jumped in the radiologists and the breast cancer surgeons. now this is the prostate, who jumps in the urologists. yes, do they have a dog in this fight in both cases? yes. i think this one is going to remain controversial. i don't think it's going to change the needle right now. but if you are a healthy man and you have no other issues, don't consider this a perfect screening test.

>> dr. nancy snyderman. thank you so much. it is now 7:16. once again here's matt. >> all right, ann, thank you. prosecutors in new jersey plan to appeal the 30-day sentence given to a former rutgers university student who used a web cam to spy on his gay roommate. this after an emotional court hearing on monday. nbc's mara schiavocampo is in new brunswick, new jersey. mara, good morning to you. >> matt, good morning. it's been almost two years since this case sparked a national dialogue about bullying. monday the families of both tyler clementi and dharun ravi came together at this courthouse to make one final appeal on in a packed new jersey courtroom, tyler clementi's heartbroken mother begged the judge to hand down a stiff punishment. >> and i am asking the court to do the right thing. >> reporter: moments before the sentencing of dharun ravi, the former student at prestigious rutgers university, who was convicted of 15 criminal charges, including invasion of privacy, and bias intimidation.

a hate crime. in 2010, ravi secretly streamed video of 18-year-old tyler clementi kissing a man, and encouraged others to watch it live. clementi, an honor student and talented violinist, jumped off a bridge and killed himself just days after the spying incident. >> even i had no idea of the despair and torment tyler must have been feeling. tyler and i had been very connected. so much so that i felt like a piece of me died in september, 2010. >> reporter: but ravi's mother also made a tearful appeal, saying her son is not a hateful bully. >> my son, he has too much burden on his shoulders to face for the rest of his life. i strongly feel the honorable judge will give him a chance to try his best to lead a normal life. >> reporter: the story made ravi the poster child for cyber bullying. >> we've got to dispel this myth

that bullying is just a normal rite of passage. >> reporter: and sparked a national outcry. >> he was outed as being gay on the internet and he killed himself. >> reporter: but ravi also has supporters. last week hundreds gathered at new jersey's state house to protest the use of the hate crimes law in the case. >> i do not believe he hated tyler clementi. but i do believe he acted at a colossal insensitivity. >> reporter: though ravi faced up to ten years in prison he was sentenced to just 30 days in jail and three years' probation. >> people may be outraged by the 30-day sentence. but he was charged with eavesdropping, not with causing the death of tyler clementi, and convicted of that. and the judge sentenced him based upon that. >> reporter: after the sentence, ravi's family wept with relief. while clementi's parents sat stone-faced. as part of the sentence, the judge recommended that ravi not be deported to his native india. the prosecution released a statement calling the sentence, quote, insufficient, and saying

that they plan to appeal. matt? >> mara schiavocampo, thank you very much. >> lots of other stories making news this morning. natalie is on assignment. savannah guthrie is at the news desk. >> good morning to you. in the news today the chief of the u.n. nuclear agency says he's reached a deal with iran this morning to resume that stalled investigation into whether the country has been secretly developing nuclear weapons. this comes just one day before world leaders are set to meet for talks in baghdad in a bid to find a diplomatic solution, and avoid military action. a daring rescue over niagara falls after a man plunged 180 feet over the cascade, in what police say was an apparent suicide attempt. the man survived and is one of only three people known to have lived after plunging from the falls without a safety device. a 74-year-old grandmother in michigan has been charged with the murder of her 17-year-old grandson. police say jonathan hoffman called 911 and said his grandmother, sandra lane, had shot him in the chest.

>> get the information! >> mr. roker is here with a check of the weather. al? >> all right, come on! let's see what we've got as far as your weather, for especially along the eastern seaboard, it's been a mess. got a low pressure system with a front draping along it from new england all the way down into the southeast. a lot of wet weather, especially in the northeast. rainfall amounts about a half to a quarter of an inch of rain, causing some problems. we've got -- we've got a good-looking day shaping up. we really can't beat numbers that are right on track with our seasonal averages and a lot of sunshine even coming in right at the coast this morning. 67 degrees today in san francisco, 72 in redwood city, and right around 79 degrees hovering around that 80-degree mark inland. as we head through the next couple of days, your bank of the west seven-day shows you we are going to cool off to warm back up just in time for memorial day weekend. hope you have a fantastic tuesday. >> and that's your latest

the sheriff will hold a press conference with the family at 8:00 this morning. time now to take it outside and check on the weather. christina loren is here to say what's happening. good morning. >> good morning. really interesting what's happening. this is all that's left of the fog. you can see the two towers of the golden gate bridge. it is clearing out quickly. we're going to see a really nice day as a result. 59 degrees in sunnyvale, 54 in oakland, and 55 degrees in san francisco. the winds are picking up, that's keeping that fog from forming and moving inland. so at this time, we've got full sunshine from san francisco all the way to fairfield. 79 for livermore and right around 80 degrees in gilroy. your bank of the west seven-day shows you cooler toward the week's end but we're going to warm up just in time for the upcoming holiday weekend. no holiday on the freeway right now. southbound 101, that gravel spill still an issue. and in fact, we've got an update. they can't close that door that's letting the gravel out. they have to figure out some way. and this still has one lane blocked. look at all the slowing

southbound from this 280/101 split. use 280, take 380 over eastbound and get back on the 101 at your alternate around the way. it's worth it right now. but congestion through daly city coming up. this will not last for long as far as the work around. slow westbound 92. an earlier debris on the roadway has a disabled big rig on the side now. they're tieing down a load there, as well, and cardboard boxes causing slowing on the hayward side. and the northbound routes gumming up now. thank you very much. once again, the sheriff's department down in morgan hill will be holding an 8:00 a.m. press conference. we'll be streaming it live on nbcbayarea.com.

>> i'd prefer not to go to hell. i'd like to think that heaven is a little sexier than generally portrayed. but if it's just black and quiet, that's okay, too. >> that's two-time oscar winner sean penn getting a little philosophical with ann. they sat down for an interview in cannes, and it's a revealing conversation about penn's career, reputation, and his work away from the cameras. we'll have that interview for you in our next half hour. 7:30 now on a tuesday morning. may 22nd, 2012. i'm matt lauer. alongside ann curry. >> that's right. you know, and also coming up this morning on a different note we're talking about mary kennedy who you've been reporting took her own life last week. she was remembered at a memorial service here in new york city last night.

the question is why was her estranged husband robert kennedy jr. not there? we're going to talk about that coming up this morning. >> then facebook's less than impressive debut on wall street, the company's value has slipped 11% in just two days. we'll talk about that with cnbc's jim cramer. and also get into questions about the timing of mark zuckerberg's wedding just a day after his company went public. >> mm-hmm. beautiful in that photograph, don't they? and it's tuesday and that means that "today's professionals" are in the house. we're going to have star, donny and nancy taking on everything from a controversial nonprofit group offering drug addicts a chance to, to agree to be sterilized and offer them cash to be sterilized. and also an eye-catching outfit from miley cyrus. >> we begin with a new court hearing for the nfl scheer leader and former high tech school teacher or high school teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with one of her students. nbc's jeff rossen is here with the latest on that. good morning to you. >> good morning, guys.

this case is rolling on. right now, sarah jones is out on bail. but here's the catch. she has to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. not allowed to text anyone or even drink alcohol. she went to court on monday trying to get the judge to ease up on those restrictions, but that judge wasn't having it. that's her, sarah jones. cheerleading captain for the cincinnati bengals. she seemed to have it all together. but police say sarah was hiding a dark secret. a sexual relationship with a teenage boy. and not just any teenage boy, one of her own students. you see, sarah was cheering part time but worked all week teaching english at this kentucky high school. >> we filed over 9,000 pages of discovery. the commonwealth is confident in our case and we look forward to the trial date. >> reporter: sarah is charged with first degree sexual abuse. her mother is also charged with covering it up. both pled not guilty.

now, out on bail, ordered to home confinement. >> sarah, do you have any comment about this? >> reporter: sarah wouldn't speak, but her lawyer did in court monday, asking the judge to ease up on the restrictions. the judge lowered bond to $10,000. but wouldn't budge on anything else. sarah must remain on the ankle bracelet. no texting allowed. and no alcohol, either, as she awaits trial. the judge did loosen the rules for sarah's mother, allowing her to ditch the ankle bracelet. but neither of them can have any contact with the alleged victim, that teenage boy, or his family. but in a surprising twist, they support sarah. and even came to court once before. >> when you have the victim's family supporting the defendant it always adds an extra hurdle for the prosecution. it does not make successful prosecution impossible. >> reporter: there have been rumors about sarah's sexual behavior with men since 2009. on this website, thedirty.com. >> somebody posted that i had

had two stds given to me by a cheating boyfriend, and that i had sex with him in the classroom at my school. >> reporter: sarah went on local radio to defend herself back then. >> clearly, obviously, knowing myself that it was false information, i was devastated because i had to, once that was information -- once it was public information, i had students starting to ask me, and teachers, and you know, just humiliating. >> reporter: she since tued the website. thedirty.com claims it's not responsible for sarah's actions, and is fighting the suit. this morning, the brunette bombshell with a love of teaching could, if convicted, end up in jail over sex. >> you know there's a lot of us that rally behind her and support her and know who she really is. >> reporter: prosecutors say they have a mountain of evidence against sarah. phone calls, e-mails, and more. but so far they won't give any more details on that. the trial is set for next month. matt? >> all right, jeff rossen.

jeff, thank you very much. here's ann. >> all right, matt, thank you. the family of mary kennedy held a private memorial last night for the 52-year-old with one notable absence. nbc's tom lamas has details for us. tom, good morning. >> good morning, ann. mary richardson kennedy's siblings and friends held that memorial for her here at the standard hotel yesterday at sunset in new york city. the private ceremony for the mother of four is making news not because of who was here, but because of who wasn't here. mary's estranged husband, robert kennedy jr. the suicide death of mary richardson kennedy has sparked a fight over how to say good-bye. this memorial monday night in new york city put together by mary's grieving siblings and friends. and according to one friend, no sign of robert kennedy jr. or the couple's four children. >> her siblings, i think, tonight felt that, you know, they were finally offering some type of tribute that was fitting for the incredible life she has

led. >> reporter: the other service happened over the weekend, in new york's westchester county. full of celebrities like chevy chase, glenn close, and susan sarandon. at that funeral, robert kennedy jr. was seen outside the church, consoling the couple's children. just the day before, he was wrangling in court with his in-laws about control over mary's body. a judge ruled in kennedy's favor. >> this is really two families at each other's throats. if they could tear the body in two and bury it in two places, they would do it. >> reporter: mary's death came at a time when she and robert kennedy were locked in divorce proceedings and a custody battle. the two wed in 1994, but the marriage fell apart. robert told "the new york times" the two hadn't lived together for almost four years. saying, quote, a lot of times i don't know how she made it through the day. she was in a lot of agony for a lot of her life. mary battled drugs, alcohol, and

depression. her lifelong friend carrie kennedy, robert's sister who introduced the couple, spoke about mary's struggle. >> mary suffered from depression. her whole life she was battling, battling these demons. >> reporter: kennedy watchers say the richardson family feels robert kennedy didn't do enough to help mary. and photos like this, of robert and actress cheryl hines, the two reportedly dating, didn't help. >> mary's sisters say that, you know, if she had not met bobby kennedy she probably still would be alive. so they are extremely bitter. >> reporter: a troubled life ended with a suicide, but still unable to rest in peace. and mary richardson kennedy was buried on saturday near the kennedy family compound in hyannisport, massachusetts. robert kenny jr. nor his lawyer wanted to comment about the marital problems or the issues over the funeral. ann? >> all right, tom llamas, thank you so much for your reporting on this.

but first, nbc's miguel almaguer is in los angeles with details. miguel, good morning to you. >> matt, good morning. facebook is so valuable, as you you know, because so many of us use it. but some investors believe the young company full of so much promise is also a bit overhyped. >> let's do this. >> when his company went public, facebook ceo, mark zuckerberg rang nasdaq's opening bell. but after just two days of trading, monday, facebook had its bell rung when its stock sank 11%. >> i think a lot of people were expecting to see a big pop in the price that you sometimes see in ipos. a lot of people didn't get that. they did not want to hold facebook for the long term, so they sold out. >> reporter: with 900 million worldwide users, facebook is an advertiser's dream. but analysts say it's still unclear how quickly and effectively the social media site will profit from its friends. experts say facebook also took a face plant on wall street

because its initial public offering, or ipo, was aggressively overpriced. >> really what it's worth depends on what happens over the next 10 to 20 years. >> reporter: for zuckerberg, the stock slide represents a $2 billion loss. but his stake in the company is still valued at more than $17 billion. at just 28 he remains the 29th richest person in the world. and there's another reason to smile. this weekend, after facebook stock went on sale, zuckerberg married longtime girlfriend priscilla chan. >> she is very definitely the quiet, strong, super smart, woman behind the man. >> reporter: author sarah lacey says there's no word on a prenup but says the low-key couple had an agreement when they dated. >> the two of them had a relationship contract when she moved out to silicon valley to make sure she was going to not only get enough of his time, but get enough of his time away from the company. >> reporter: the nuptials come just as chan graduates from med school. a ceremony that may be good

timing for zuckerberg, too. under california law, his enormous fortune isn't considered joint property. but those who know the couple say they've never worried about money. and despite an early stock market setback, they still don't need to. while facebook stock took a beating on monday the company is still valued at more than $93 billion. and even though some analysts believe the stock may continue to slide a bit more, those overnight millionaires at facebook are still millionaires. matt? >> all right, miguel almaguer. thank you very much. jim cramer is host of "mad money" on cnbc. jim, good morning. nice to have you back. >> go ahead, say it. i told you so. >> i told you so. you've been around long enough like i have, you've seen a lot and you know that people aren't as stupid as you think. >> you knew this was going to go down. it's going to open at about $34 this morning. what's driving it down? what are the nuts and bolts of this? >> people want excitement. and this deal was a fiasco. it was placed with a lot of people who didn't really care about it in the end. they issued too much stock. and once a stock starts going

down, matt, people feel like it's a sinking ship. they want out. >> isn't it possible people simply learned their lesson from the '90s and the early 2000s where some of these initial ipos came out, and they were skyrockets to the moon, with no path to profitability for those companies? people learned from that, didn't they? >> yes. so many people lost money. remember many investors never came back after 1999-2000. lessons were learned. but brokers didn't seem to realize that these lessons were learned. they got it totally wrong. a fiasco. >> with these 900 million registered users, okay, this seems like an advertiser's dream. but you said something to me while that spot was running that they're in trouble if they junk up that site with too much advertising. >> the younger people who like facebook, they are anti-advertising. they think everything should be for free. they don't want to look at ads, let alone click at ads. you move this to mobile, a lot of people, particularly younger people using cell phones, they have strategies to avoid ads at all costs.

they are not your ideal audience if you're an advertiser. >> you made headlines over the weekend on a different subject. you weighed in on mitt romney's time at bain capital. something that's been being discuss a lot now. whether it's a liability or an asset for his run for the presidency. you said romney is known as a job destroyer not a job creator. you speaking as a pundit, or do you have some experience here? >> look, i went to hear the presentation when i was at harvard law trying to figure out whether to work for them or somebody else. they were talking about rationalizing -- >> they were talking or he was talking? >> he was there. he was talking about rationalizing the workforce, making it so companies were more efficient. matt, these were code words back then. code words for firing people. and by the way, it was viewed as being very positive. it wasn't something that we thought was like, wow, that would be really bad if you're running for president. it was like wow, that could be really good if i work there. >> was it smart business or was it a problem with capitalism? >> it's smart business. this was the way to make money if you worked for bain.

that kind of was widely viewed. >> jim cramer. all right we'll leave it at that. appreciate it very much. you can catch this guy on "mad money" weeknights at 6:00 and 11:00 eastern time on cnbc. up next, would you pay $90 million for an apartment? how about $1 million for a parking space? we're going to tell you where it's happening right after this. let's play indoors this weekend. all we need is a couple of gallons of our hardest-working paint... ...from the home depot. the place that gives us more top-rated brands than anywhere else... ...at prices that won't shake up our budget. let's make a one-wall statement... ...or tackle a total room takeover ...with paint that'll get the job done in fewer trips up and down the ladder. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. the number one brand of paint just got better. starting at $24.96. my name is sunshine and i have three beautiful girls. i like taking advil® for a headache.

take you live to a news conference at the santa clara sheriff's office to talk about the arrest of a suspect in the disappearance of sierra lamar. >> and mr. donald o'keefe from united states marshalls's office. county supervisor and chairman and search and rescue. >> thank you. and thank you for being patient with us. as you're aware, we did make an arrest last night. i would like to start off by expressing condolences to sierra's family. it's a very difficult time for them. on behalf of all of law

enforcement, all of the volunteers that have been involved in this investigation, they have been so dedicated, they worked very hard to come to this point. after about two and a half months of continuous investigation, with collaboration of all local agencies, state agencies, federal agencies, we really would like to acknowledge the united states marshall that's here, the supervising agent in charge from the fbi, for their early efforts and their commitment for personnel. this has been very labor intensive. we used a lot of man-hours, a lot of volunteer hours from the search and rescue team, and for that, we're grateful. our investigation has lead to the identification of antolin garcia torres as the person responsible for the kidnap and murder of sierra lamar. we developed this through our investigation based on direct and circumstantial evidence, including forensic analysis

conducted by the santa clara county district attorney's crime lab. the discovery of sierra's cell phone, her clothing, what she wore that day, and her personal belongings have contributed to our belief that sierra is a victim of murder. early on when our deputy first responded to a missing child report, he knew immediately that this was not just a runaway, this was something that was more significant. so early in the investigation, we had tremendous resources out there searching. we found the bag of clothing less than two days after she was reported missing, and our search and rescue team found that two miles from her house. a two mile radius is a huge radius to search, and it was that clothing that was instrumental in identifying the subject. off her property in the bag, we

found dna from antolin garcia torres. it was that dna that was placed into the system that revealed the identity. we received those lab results on march 28th. and from march 28th until present time, we've had 24 hour a day surveillance on garcia. we needed additional information, we were continuing the investigation. we were hoping he would lead us to where sierra was. our surveillance efforts were around the clock because public safety was our primary concern. we also have information that we just recently developed that there were three assaults in

morgan hill about three years ago, in march of 2009, we have linked one of those to our suspect through forensic evidence. he was booked last night for murder and kidnapping. the family is here. we're not certain if the family will come down apd talk with you. i believe that they will, but this is a very, very difficult time for them, and we just really wish to express our deepest condolences to the family. i will take some questions. >> laurie, what prompted the arrest now? >> we had additional -- we got the initial dna from her property that we found two days after. that led to the suspect. we seized the suspect's vehicle on april 7th. at the time we did search warrants, we have physical evidence linking sierra to his

vehicle. >> any possible motive? why did their worlds collide? >> we don't know that. it's my belief this was purely random, it was an absolute stranger abduction. there's no information we have of any type that the two know each other, have had any contact. we believe this is the worst kind of crime, stranger abduction of a young girl. >> dna found in the bag, what was it, on the clothes, in the bag, what was it? >> i'm not sure what item it was on. it was found in multiple places on her property. and we're not going to comment any more on the type or nature of the dna. but it was enough dna to link him within the system identifying him as the person.

[ inaudible ] i believe he may have believed he was under surveillance. we don't know that for sure. we talked to him multiple times. last night after the arrest was the first custodial environment interview that we've had with him. >> can you talk about that conversation. has he admitted to the crime. >> we have gained some value from our interviews with him, but nothing substantive, and we hope at some point he does tell us more than he's telling us now. [ inaudible ] >> sierra was a very social girl. she had a lot of friends. she communicated with her friends all the time through social media outlets, through telephoning. from the time she was reported

missing, there was absolutely no contact, there has been no contact with any of her friends. we have no reason to believe she ran away. we now have a stranger who we identified through dna on her property. also her property. she threw away or discarded, she did not throw away, discarded what's her property that she would have taken with her, including medication. [ inaudible ] >> i don't believe he did, but we haven't confirmed that. >> can you tell us if there were any other suspects linked to this, anybody else -- >> early in the investigation, we had many, many suspects. we did additional surveillances other than with him. right now, we believe he's the only person responsible for the kidnapping and murder of sierra.

>> evidence was there, thrown out -- [ inaudible ] >> we have a lot of direct evidence, we have circumstantial evidence. we believe the facts that i just talked about lead us to believe this. these are very, very difficult cases to prosecute a homicide when you have not found the victim, but it has been done, and i think that we have adequate facts. in fact, strong facts to believe she has been murdered. >> going over here. >> is he a morgan hill resident? >> he is a morgan hill resident. >> did he live in that neighborhood? >> he doesn't live that close in the neighborhood, but he is familiar with the area, spent most of his life, if not all his life in that area, and he is a resident. let me go here. >> does he have an alibi? >> again, he has not been

totally disclose i have. [ inaudible ] >> they were physical assaults that were not completed, if you will. and i know it has been widely reported in the media. one was where a taser was involved. but the victim managed to get away. another one was where the victim had a knife that was used against her, and the other one was he was not able to get into the victim's car, she locked it. those have been reported by the media, and one of those we + suspect. >> which one, taser or the knife? >> you know, i don't remember which one it was. >> did you locate blood in the red vehicle that matched sierra lamar? >> we have not located any blood, but we're not commenting on any of the physical evidence. we want that to remain confidential. our focus right now is

continuing to search and look for sierra, and we hope that we reach a successful prosecution on the person who did this. >> if you believe she's dead -- >> where was he on that date a base, what had he done. >> prior conviction for interfering with an officer, a misdemeanor. he has a prior felony arrest for an assault. that's what got him into the database, but that was not prosecuted. >> if you believe she's dead, do you have any idea how long she lived? >> we don't know that. we don't know that. when we look at these types of cases, what i mentioned when i thanked the fbi for their assistance early on, we had their team of child abduction experts from all over the country come. we had their behavioral analysis unit from quantico, virginia,

that talked to us a lot about these types of cases, what to expect, and it's based on their research of these kinds of cases, and what we're finding now that we have a suspect, we're finding that much of what they thought could have occurred really is. he is not a registered sex offender. that's one thing they told us right away. we were actually surprised. one of the first things we did was look at all of the registered sex offenders. they said in most cases it is a small percentage. the probability of homicide is also strong for these types of cases that have been studied and researched by the fbi. >> two more questions. >> a lot of people are concerned you have not found sierra, can you -- tell us how you believe

she was killed? >> we don't have a weapon and we don't know. >> what made it important yesterday as opposed to days or weeks before, why did you make the decision? >> we had received forensic evidence back on the vehicle we seized earlier, lab takes a long time. there are many more things that currently are with the lab that we're expecting results. but we knew we had probable cause and had a strong case to arrest him for homicide and kidnapping, and public safety was our primary concern, even though we have been surveilling him, surveillance is not perfect. we wanted to make sure this didn't happen again, and public safety again, has been our concern all along on this, and to make sure we had a good, viable case.

[ inaudible ] had evidence from the car early on. >> i am absolutely confident in what we have done. our detectives have done amazing job. community outreach has been wonderful and we were communicating with the community. the community in this has come together to search for her. what you have seen publicly has been our search. our search and rescue team, our sheriff's office searchers, underwater dive team. what you haven't seen because it is not visible is the bigger operation, investigation surveillance. that's not as visible to you, so that's not what you saw, but

what the volunteers have been doing, what search and rescue team has been doing is searching for sierra, not investigating the case. [ inaudible ] >> the felony arrest for assault, is that the -- >> they were never solved. three assaults in morgan hill were never solved. let me mention another thing i think is interesting. since january of 2011, so a little over a year, in santa clara county alone, there are, let me get the number, sorry. i have it on my -- i think there's 43 missing juvenile females reported since january of 2011 that have never returned

home. you wonder if any of those actually were abductions also. our detectives have done a great job. our investigators from the very beginning. our patrol people that initially went to the call have done an extraordinary job, and we put a lot of resources into it, but these resources were important. this is a missing little girl. >> what was the felony arrest for? >> it was an assault. and i know you've all met sierra's mother and sierra's father, and i think sierra's mother, marlene, would like to talk for a few moments. >> i would like to thank the community outreaching to find sierra and all their time and efforts that have gone into this, and their prayers.

we continue to pray until she's found. our search is not going to end. you know, as a mother, i still am hopeful because her body has not been found and that gives me hope. and just what i've heard, you know, as far as certain things not being found in the vehicle also gives me hope. and again, i am so grateful for the response for law enforcement. i do have a plea to the perpetrator to please, please give the information if you have, that you have to lead us to sierra to help end this nightmare. i would like you to come forward and say where she is. and end this nightmare for us as

a family. i'm not giving up hope. you know, her body hasn't been found, and you know, so many people have, you know, record breaking numbers show up at a search center, like thousands of people, and law enforcement, you know, doing it simultaneously, and i believe there's a reason why she wasn't found. so we're not giving up on that. >> good morning, everyone. i just want to say just a couple of words. the main thing would be that we want to thank, you know, everyone for all the support we've gotten so far. we still need your support. we need to bring sierra home, so we still need to find her. so we're looking for everyone to help us do that.

and we want justice served, so that's what we're looking for. thank you. >> that concludes this press conference. thank you. >> we have been listening live to the santa clara county sheriff's department this morning. the agony in their voices of steve and marlene lamar this morning as now the search for sierra has turned into a murder investigation with the arrest of antolin garcia torres. he was booked under suspicion of murder and kidnapping of sierra lamar. also was interesting, the santa clara sheriff laurie smith noted that he is also being held in connection to an assault in the morgan hill area, one of three that happened in the area, but they did positively through dna identify him as being associate with an assault in march of

2009. surveillance has been on-going of mr. garcia torres for some time, partially led to the arrest. >> absolutely. the sheriff pointed out two days after they found sierra's bag, found dna matching garcia torres, since then have been watching him closely, seeing if he would lead them to the body. want to be careful and watch him for safety of the public as well. >> log onto nbcbayarea.com to find out more about the investigation and arrests. crews are covering this live all day. we'll bring you the latest in upcoming local news updates and at 11:00 this morning. ♪

is unlikely she will be found alive. the rest of the investigation will take time. but our legal expert says ultimately, antolin garcia torres could face the death penalty. >> this can certainly be a death penalty case because it is a murder committed while there was also a kidnapping, it is a special circumstance. but the d.a.'s office likely won't make that decision for several months. they're going to want to know a lot more about this individual and want to know a lot more about the crime and what sierra lamar went through before they make that decision. >> part of the reason the case continued so long, investigators have been waiting on dna analysis to allegedly link garz to wekeill epime.cr we will keep you posted as the day progresses. a look at weather and traffic after the break.

grads. nearly 2 million college students will be entering the rat race this spring. here with some advice to put you in front of the pack is cat cohen, college admissions counselor and the ceo and founder of ivy wise. good to see you. >> hi, al. >> any good news on the job front out there? we know unemployment is at 8.1%. any good news? >> there is good news. the outlook is actually brighter than it's been in the last four years. according to the national association of colleges and employers, employers are hiring about 10.2% more college grads from the class of 2012 than they did from the class of 2011. >> so 9 average college grad is walking away, besides a diploma, walking away with about $25,000 in student debt. what do you say to those, those folks who are facing unemployment, and these hefty bills? >> well, it will eventually pay off that college education. and i tell students, you know, if they can be patient, the more you learn, the more you earn. because those with a four-year college degree with ultimately make about $1 million more over the course of their lifetime

than those with just a high school diploma. >> so, if you haven't found a job yet, you're graduating, can you expect help from your alma mater once you graduate? >> you can. most colleges have career services. but you have to be pro-active as a student, or a grad to use those services. they can help you with everything from drafting your resume, your cover letters, interview etiquette, and they can also help you with connecting you to their alumni network. and that is so key. because you can reach out to them for jobs. >> so there's certainly some dos and don'ts. you say do research into each company. >> yes. i give advice to college grads and tell them they should approach the job application process as they would the college application process. want to research the job, the company, make sure you're a good fit for the role. you want to make sure when you're responding to job listings follow directions. everything you send to a company whether it's a resume or cover letter, make sure it's well written. no grammatical errors. tailor it to that company.

and most importantly manage your online identity. >> a lot of kids have put stuff online that employers can look at and find and might not be flattering. >> anything you post online, a potential employer can see that everything from your facebook to your twitter feed, to even your okay cupid account. and believe me we get a lot of resumes at ivywise. that's one of the first thing we look at is we do a background check. >> you also say network, network, network. >> yes. you might make great relationships when you're in college from say an internship or with professors and those people might be able to steer you in the right direction toward the job or at least act as a reference when you're applying for a job. >> we're talking about average salaries. what are we looking at? >> actually another piece of good news. the median average salary for the class of 2012 college grads has gone up to $42,569. which is up 4.5% from the median last year. >> so what fields are people doing the best in? >> well, the top industries that are hiring are hiring in

education, health care and social assistance, science and technical fields, like engineering, computer science, accounting. >> and let's say you get offered a job, it's not your dream job, take it? or wait and hold out for what you really want? >> well, although the economy is improving, the job market is still tough, so college grads shouldn't expect to get their ultimate dream job right out of college. but look for a job in a industry that you're interested in. and try to gain some skills that can be transferrable ultimately to get that goal of the dream job. >> so you don't get the job you want. you don't get offered a job per se but maybe an internship. do you say that? >> i say yes, an unpaid internship. you might have to live with mom and dad for awhile, wait tables at night but that's your opportunity to get your foot in the door in that industry that you love or that dream company. and you can prove yourself. if you work really hard that can oftentimes lead to that full-time job. >> job opens up, you're already there, and being there is always part of it. >> exactly. prove yourself.

this morning, do it yourself today, getting your garage organized. >> "today" contributor lou manfredini has some great ideas for putting everything in its place. >> nice to see you. >> this is the time people are getting busy, they want to get in the garage. you say you need to get everything out of the garage and get organized. >> the first thing today, the garage is like a vortex. you don't know where to put things. people with basements have the same problem, it all ends up in there. get it all out. get the place cleaned up and my first tip is to get the floor painted so really kind of brighten things up a little bit. >> right. >> most of us have concrete floors that just don't look

good, a lot of cracks. patch all those cracks. this is a kit by rust-oleum called epoxy shield. you have to clean the greece first. you mix "a" and "b." give it a little time to flake, it's called where it bonds. then you roll it onto the floor. this doesn't look like much. looks like a gray floor. but they give you these chips, and these little chips can make this actually look like a tile. this gets embedded into the wet finish. >> uh-huh. >> and then it bonds. you can drive the car right on top of this. this is also terrific solution for basement floors. >> oh. that's a good idea. >> an unfinished basement, you'd like to brighten things up a little bit. >> does it come in colors? >> there's a gray, there's a red. >> how long does that last? >> you're probably going to get a couple years and sort to see some lift under the tires but the rest of it is going to look great. >> if your floor is really in bad shape. >> this is a roll from the gorilla wrap people. this comes in different lengths and sizes. it looks like diamond plate.

you put a ledge at the front where the garage comes in like a little strip and you can roll a couple of these out. you can sweep it off. looks really nice. a little bit more expensive. a roll is about $500 but it's a great solution. >> shelving and putting things in their place. >> yeah, if you've got a dry-walled interior or even a studs interior these are tornado hooks. and these hooks are terrific, because they come with their own anchors that with the two anchors in dryall alone it will hold up to 30 pounds. if you hit the framing underneath there it will hold even more and they even have some racks. by raycore. and the shelving behind us, this is from a company called gorilla rack. they make industrial shelving for, you know, manufacturing facilities. the one you're leaning on right now called the boss, $129. holds a ton per shelf. >> literally a ton? >> 2,000 pounds. this one is 700 pounds her shelf. no bolts, no screws. they just click together. >> they just click together. but i imagine you have to have a little bit of strength -- >> no. >> i could do it?

>> absolutely. al could do it. >> oh, al could do it. >> okay. pull on that -- >> okay. >> wait a minute. >> i can do it. >> heave-ho! >> this is the ray core bike rack. you put this in the ceiling. >> it's not that bad, right? as far as lifting? >> if you keep going what happens? >> it keeps going higher and higher. >> okay. >> showoff. >> it lacks in place? >> and then release and it locks in place. now we're suspending it swinging because we're suspending it here in the studio but under -- in your garage, this little clip goes with just a few screws, the pulley system, get the bikes off the floor. >> your tools. >> look at this bench from gorilla rack. pull that out a flip-down bench. brand-new, never been seen before. this will hold 1,000 pounds. in a tight space this could even work in an apartment, or in a loft space. you could use it as a computer desk. it's $129.

organization, and look at how nice this butcher block top is. >> you just line everything up? >> yeah. and if you really want to go. this is from a company called new age. this entire kit, cabinet set, $1500. and -- >> now that's storage, obviously. >> yeah but it's really nice. and if you want to have your garage really look something special, and have a place where you don't want to see stuff it goes together very easily. they all come assembled. all you have to do is put the shelves inside. >> wow. >> and it gets shipped right to your home. a high quality, they make a red and a gray. the gray is the most popular. but i really like the red. >> it's nice. >> lou manfredini. >> thank you. >> coming up. hoda and kathy leigh with jimmy fallon. >> way to go. >> right after your local news.

good morning to you. it is 9:56. i'm laura garcia-cannon. we are minutes away from a news conference where the golden state warriors are expected to announce they are moving to san francisco. the warriors will announce plans

to build a new stadium on piers 30 to 32. a spokesperson for the team says there will be a press conference at 10:00 a.m. people that live near the site say traffic and view obstruction are some concerns, but not everyone is opposed to the idea. >> it will obscure some of the buildings over there, but at the end of the day, they're not going to just throw up something bad right there, so it's going to be cool, have cool lights, add to the bay bridge, accent wait it. >> add to dollars coming in to the city as well. they are expected to keep talking with the warriors hoping to convince them to build the new arena in oakland. looking at the forecast in the bay area. let's check in with christina. >> quite a contrast on both sides of the bay. 50s in san francisco, breaking into the 60s in oakland. temperatures in the 70s in the south bay. plentiful sunshine today. winds pick up through the afternoon. staying warm tomorrow, stronger

winds on the way. then we get cooler weather, maybe showers at week's end. 79 in san jose, 72 in san francisco. the full forecast during the 11:00 broadcast. first, check the drive with mike. sigalert for dumbarton bridge. we see slowing in the westbound direction, one or two lanes closed if you get by on the service area. traffic still flows both directions across the span. it is a slower commute across the san mateo bridge and 92 to the north. slow out of the city, passing a big rig. gravel truck on the shoulder. traffic break closer to 11:00 or 10:30. look at the slowing out of the city. southbound 101 a nightmare. 280 is an alternate, take it to 380. check out more on nbc bay area on facebook. another update in a half hour. it has moisturizers that penetrate thick skin. thanks. think gold bond. ♪ this stuff works

captions paid for by nbc-universal television it's a drizzly booze day tuesday, everybody. but we don't care. we're inside our studio and we're safe and dry and look who isn't? >> if you peek outside -- there is a big party that's happening at "dateline." these guys -- josh, chris, dennis and keith -- are the top correspondents at "dateline." they won emmys and duponts and

murrows -- it's a party outside. they're going to come on in out of the rain. >> and we'll wish them well. we just can't stay out of trouble. >> you guys rert song "call me maybe," and we had our own sort of dance version to it with the legs stuck up in the air. let's just relink the spanx moment again for a second. ♪ >> that is wasn't easy. >> still cracks me up. >> if you have long heavy legs it is hard for them not to do that. so last night, as you guys know, jay leno decided to have a little fun with that exact same song so here is leno's version.

>> you know what's interesting? now everyone -- you see who -- i was stunned at these two people did it. take a look. ♪ >> genius! >> as if they don't have anything else to do. front page of the papers today, you guys -- some funny head leans. this one says rack and ruin. exactly what i said. so this young lady is working at a lingerie store and she claims that the owners -- the managers and stuff say that she was way too voluptuous and sexy to be working dressed as she was in

her store. >> provocatively because they are of an orthodox faith. >> so she took exception to that and they toll her apparently to put on a big red bath robe and walk around and she didn't like so in this paper, one of the papers, she took a picture of herself in a red bath robe. >> is she suing them for dismissal? her lawyer, gloria allred has filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint eeoc in new york. >> what do you make of this young lady? >> it's kind of funny. it's happening all the stuf, around the time "maxim" comes out with its most beautiful women in the world. i don't think anybody's going to question who comes in first, second, third or even tenth on that list. right? but then when other people, shall we say, stand up and make accusations that they're so hot

that they -- nobody can just bear their hotness? it's just -- there are others that have been doing it recently. we think it a trend and a disturbing one. >> the tan mom? she thinks this. let's look. >> there's somebody out there my whole life that doesn't like me because they're jealous, they're fat and they're ugly. >> well! there you have that. >> and then back in april, remember british writer samantha brick wrote this essay a that started this whole thing in "the daily mail" about how other women hate her because she is so attractive. >> "women hate me for no reason other than my lovely looks. throughout my lifetime i've had bottles of bubbles sent to my table. the donors say it is my pleasing appearance and pretty smile make their day. >> then in 2010 a citibank

worker, this woman said she was fired for being too sexy! she currently fighting her former lawyer, gloria allred -- >> that gloria is a business woman. i'm glad to see that the system is working. it's just incredible people have the moxie to say such a thing. angelina jolie, among the world's most beautiful, would you never catch her saying that. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. >> speaking of hotness. you had a fun lunch yesterday. >> yesterday frank and i went to the greenwich hyatt to a connecticut that the national multiple sclerosis society of connecticut -- the chapter put on to honor our dear friend meredith and her amazing husband, richard. who has been suffering with ms

since he was 25 years old. and the two of them were honored and the two of them spoke. so many of these luncheons and these dinners an things that you go to, they're just sort of cold. you know? you raise money for a good cause and you're gone. this was so moving on so many levels. number one, they're both great speakers. number two, to see the dynamic between the two of them and to see the love that they have for one another was just authentic but then so see how raw they both are about everything and how honest -- really just honest. there wasn't a dry eye in the house. it was just sensational. >> richard wrote a great book called "stronger in the broken places." i think a lot of people who have been through a life threatening illness or something that's been really debilitatindebilitating, figure out how to get strong in those spots. >> she is just so raunchy and funny. >> i can't tell you half the things she said. but the thing about richard -- i didn't know how funny he is, too. he's talking about all of this.

he goes my next book's called "i'm going to kill the dog," because he hates their in dog jasper. >> he hates jasper. >> hates him. wants to kill him. he won't kill him, of course. it's just that he can find no redeeming qualities in this dog. little later in the show we have jimmy fallon? >> why? why is he coming to bother us? >> it's called "thank you notes 1." >> i didn't like "thank you notes 1," why are we having him on again? he has a new cd coming out. the man -- i mean why? >> we all remember him from slow jamming with president obama. >> i don't. >> well watch it and you'll remember. >> so important to keep down costs so we keep college affordable. >> and the president knows his stuff, y'all. that's why call him the potus which means person on top -- what is it. >> jimmy, potus stand are foz

president of the united states. ♪ he's the potus with the mo mostest ♪ >> he does have one or two redeeming qualities. perhaps jimmy can tell us if he's going to buy this. he's the one that makes big bucks late night. there is going to be a million dollar parking space. if you're willing to buy a $39 million pebthounthouse, you can have the privilege of buying for -- probably going for more than a million dollars person buying the penthouse gets first crack at that. 12x23 feet. that's how much space you are getting and are you paying a million dollars for it. >> but think about it you could amortize it because it's high enough to put one of those rising once and put your sports car on top of that. >> can you imagine spending $1 million to park your car in a

spot? >> there will be an auction for this thing. we're burying the lead because it is "dateline's" 20th anniversa anniversary. all right. and we have the four hot shots of "dateline" nbc in the house. they're right behind the news desk boozing it up. josh mankiewicz, chris hansen famous for "predator," dennis murphy, one of the finest writers in the building. kee kee keith morrison delivers a line. >> have you no idea when you're talking, keith, what it does to hoda. i am sorry but she's -- how can i say it? >> don't say it. >> it has something to do with her spanx. >> hoda, you're with the band. come on over here. >> come over here. >> they've got their drinks over. >> bring your drinks, come on over. >> miss bossy pants! >> while they're walking over, we'll show "snl" having some fun with keith.
